Chapter 324

Looking at Ling Muer's nervous eyes and everyone's curious looks, Ling Zixuan sighed, "I was arrested suddenly, Zhu Qi, as my adjutant, must be in danger too, besides, you rescued me again , I'm afraid he..."

"Don't worry, he was safely transferred before I acted, and he is now staying in Ling's mansion." Shangguan Shaochen interrupted Ling Zixuan's anxiety.

Ling Mu'er didn't expect that Shao Chen was already doing what she didn't explain.

Not only did he abandon his busy military affairs for his elder brother's affairs, he even went to rescue Zhu Qi who had nothing to do with it. She was very moved in her heart.

In order to get to the bottom of this investigation as soon as possible, she immediately asked Ling Zixuan, "Brother, tell me everything you know."

"It's the Seventh Prince." When he said these words, Ling Zixuan was very sad. He thought that he admired and respected the Seventh Prince very much, and planned to serve him loyally for the rest of his life.

But I didn't expect that this person who was kind to him was also the one who wanted to put him to death.

"Half a month ago, Dali Temple took over a death-row prisoner. Originally, he did not belong to the scope of my review, but in order to get out alive, he bribed the jailer to send me a letter. The letter stated that he was actually framed by the Seventh Prince. I hope I can Thoroughly investigate the Seventh Prince and give him justice."

Ling Zixuan recalled everything back then, and still couldn't believe that the Seventh Prince would be such a person.

"At first, I didn't believe it. I thought it was a way for death row inmates to save their lives, and Mu'er planned to leave the capital again. I didn't want to get involved in this matter. After being imprisoned last time, I wanted to investigate it by accident. , it turned out that I didn't expect..."

Ling Zixuan sighed deeply again, "I didn't expect that I found out a ledger. It turned out to be a fake account made by the Seventh Prince over the years. It clearly stated that the Seventh Prince embezzled more than 10 million taels of river repair funds. And at the end of last year, when he was still in the fiefdom, he privately withheld five million taels of disaster relief... and other such incidents, and he murdered more than ten people, including the former Minister of the Ministry of War, in order to achieve his goal."

The more he talked about Ling Zixuan, the angrier he became. How stupid he was to worship such a vicious person.

"I always knew that he was cruel and merciless, but I didn't expect him to be so devoid of conscience." Ling Mu'er was in a hurry, slapped the table with her hands, and turned to do something, Shangguan Shaochen hurriedly held her down.

"Ling Zixuan's words alone are not enough to convince the emperor. Besides, since Lao Qi found out about Zixuan's investigation of his account books, he will definitely do something else and arrange everything, so we can't act rashly." Shangguan Shaochen Patted her on the shoulder, comforted her and asked Ling Zixuan, "Where is the ledger now?"

Ling Zixuan bowed his head guiltily, "I'm sorry, the ledger was taken away after I was imprisoned by them."

"No wonder the Seventh Prince wants to put you to death. He ordered the people in the Heavenly Prison to torture you to death. His purpose is to keep you from speaking forever!" I really regret that I helped the Seventh Prince a lot, but I didn't expect him to be the worst one.

"If it is taken away, it will be taken away, as long as our Zixuan is fine." Chaoyang hurriedly comforted Ling Zixuan and told him not to blame himself too much, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him.

But Ling Zixuan knew that even if he didn't want to have a relationship with the Seventh Prince, he couldn't get away now.

"Although I can't recite all the contents of the account book, most of it has already been recorded in my mind. If you need me, I can write it down now." Ling Zixuan guessed, "After the Seventh Prince learned that the account book was discovered by me, he must have already written it down. Destroyed, I don’t know if what I wrote down can help you.”

Shangguan Shaochen was noncommittal, "No need, even if you write it all down, as long as he doesn't admit it, he won't be able to convict him. Instead, he will be charged with framing the prince. As for the account book, he won't destroy it."

"Why?" Ling Zixuan and Ling Muer said in unison.

"That's all he has for many years. Since he can keep it to this day, it means there are other uses. Besides, according to what I know about him, how could he be so proud of himself and destroy his glorious deeds with his own hands?" Shangguan Shaochen slanted She pursed her lips, "As long as I get the ledger, I can punish him and make him fall into the abyss of eternal doom, so I will have to find a way to get the ledger."

"Second prince, there is something Chaoyang doesn't know whether to say or not." Chaoyang suddenly stood up with a very cold attitude.

Shangguan Shaochen gave her a look, beckoning her but saying it's okay.

"Chaoyang is just a little woman. Although I am also a little princess, I have already married a wife and will soon be a mother. I don't understand your ambitions, and I don't know what you want to do next, but I only want my little one. The family is safe and sound, and the family is complete, so can Chaoyang beg you, don't involve Zixuan in this matter of the Seventh Prince."

After finishing speaking, Chaoyang even wanted to kneel down, but was quickly stopped by Ling Muer, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"I know that the second prince and the seventh prince are going to become enemies in the end, and the seventh prince treats our Zixuan like this. Whether you are using the banner of revenge for him, or wanting to fight for that seat, I don't want Zixuan to fight again. I'm deeply involved. I don't want my future child to lose his father before he is born, so I beg the second prince to agree to Chaoyang."

Supported by Ling Muer, Chaoyang still spoke firmly, as if he would never give up unless he promised her.

"Chaoyang!" Ling Zixuan didn't expect Chaoyang to speak like this suddenly, which made him very embarrassed, but just after he pronounced her name, he began to cough violently. "I know you are worried about me, but I can't get away from this matter anymore. We are on the same boat now, and we can only defeat the enemy by facing it together." Ling Zixuan weakly opposed Chaoyang's decision.

"I don't care!" As if returning to the image of the domineering and unruly princess, Chaoyang's attitude was cold, "You are my husband and everything to me. If you have any good or bad, have you ever thought about me and my child? Do you know that?" Know how sad I was when I learned that you were imprisoned in the sky prison and awaiting execution? If it wasn't for Mu'er's rejuvenation, our child would have been involved in this matter, and she would have..."

Chaoyang wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, "Ling Zixuan, you don't think about yourself, you don't think about me, don't you think about our children? If you have any troubles, you will regret it."

Seeing the woman he loves crying in front of him, but he is helpless, Ling Zixuan feels that his life is really useless.

First he couldn't protect his sister, and now he treats his wife badly. What's the point of his life?

As if seeing through her brother's heart, Ling Muer hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law is right, the grievances with the Seventh Prince belong to us and have nothing to do with brother. After all, brother is just a victim of this matter, The information you provided is enough to help us, so it’s up to us next.”

Ling Mu'er gave Shangguan Shaochen a look, and the latter immediately understood, "I planned to inform you after you recovered from your injury, so it doesn't matter if I inform you first, I have already asked the emperor to send you to my second prince's mansion , which means that from now on, you will be my second prince's man, and you don't have to worry about things that will cost you your life. Of course, Lao Qi will definitely refuse to accept it, but no matter how long his hand is, he will never be able to reach my second prince's mansion Come."

Upon hearing such words, Ling Zixuan, Ling Muer, and Chaoyang were all shocked.

"What you said is true?" Ling Mu'er couldn't believe it, but she knew that Shao Chen's helping Ling Zixuan was only for her sake, and Shao Chen had done too much for her.

"I said before, your family is my family, and he is your brother, so he is also my brother." Shangguan Shaochen looked at Ling Zixuan, "You are full of talents, if you continue to follow Lao Qi, you will be truly buried. Royal Father originally disagreed, but I insisted on valuing your talent, Royal Father naturally agreed, and the imperial decree will be conveyed to the Seventh Prince's Mansion tomorrow, but you don't have to worry, I have everything for you."

After finishing speaking, he was looking at Chaoyang. "Little princess, are you satisfied with my way of doing this?"

Chaoyang blushed at his joke, her blunt words just now were indeed a bit threatening, but she didn't expect that the second prince had already thought out a way out for them.

"Thank you, Second Prince." Chaoyang and Ling Zixuan looked at each other, and both of them sincerely thanked Shangguan Shaochen.

"We are all a family, so why thank you?" Shangguan Shaochen had a gentle smile on his lips, and when his eyes moved to Ling Mu'er, he raised his eyebrows proudly, as if to say: Did I do a good job.

Ling Zixuan was moved for a while, although he knew it was all because of his younger sister, he still said cheekily, "Thank you, Second Prince, for taking care of me, but I wonder if Second Prince can take Brother Zhu Chi away with me?"

I knew he would ask this question, and without Shangguan Shaochen opening his mouth, Ling Muer had already laughed, "Brother Zhu is your deputy, and the two of you can play harmoniously together. If you take you away, of course you will also take Zhu away." Brother."

"Mu'er is right. I will re-arrange the official titles between you and Zhu Qi. In this way, since the little princess is about to give birth and you have to recuperate from your injuries, you can stay with her before she gives birth. Don't worry, I will give birth to you as a work-related injury." Let you take a long vacation, and your salary will not be temporarily withheld. As for Zhu Qi, his ability is not inferior to yours, so I will make other arrangements."

Shangguan Shaochen not only arranged everything, but also gave Ling Zixuan special care.

He had also been in the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple for a while, so he naturally knew that there had never been such preferential treatment in the palace, and it was obvious that this was the back door specially opened for him by the second prince.

Ling Zixuan solemnly swore, "After I recover from my injury, I will give my allegiance to the Second Prince." This is the only thing he can do.

"Okay, my prince never raises useless people by my side, I hope you will do what you say, then this prince is waiting for the moment when you come back to me and serve me loyally."
